Course description

You’re required to do more with less – process more invoices with fewer people, inadequate automation technology and sometimes misaligned operational functions. This course helps you overcome those barriers to success, enabling you to more effectively manage your team regardless of resource limitations. Designed for those with AP Manager level titles and above, this self-study course equips you for both managing your team now and preparing to manage your team in the future— by understanding and embracing automation, organizational process change, and  the increasing interaction with vendors on a global scale.

Access to the course lasts for one year after date of purchase. Since it is self-study, learners can move at their own pace, but IOFM recommends a timeline of about 3 months to move through the material. Total learning hours for this course are estimated at 12 to 17. 

The self-study program (accessed via the IOFM.com E-Learning Center) comes with access to the e-textbook, on-demand 4-hour training video, practice quizzes and 3 attempts at the final exam (100 multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes, graded pass/fail).

IOFM does not offer CEUs for Certification classes. We know that earning your Certification takes a lot of time! However, the nature of continuing education is that it is additional training you do after you are certified in order to keep up with the standards set by the program. Therefore, earning your credentials does not count towards your CEU requirement. If you already hold an IOFM Certification, you may count subsequent live Certification classes for 6 CEUs towards that previously-held Certification.

15 Continuing Education Units per year (approx. 15 hours). Renewal is free as long as CEUs are logged before the Certification expires. Learn more.
